■About us

Tetsuya Shimpo, the CEO of our company, met waffle when he had learnt architecture in Europe.
In those days, Almost all Japanese had not been familiar to waffle which European had taken as breakfast or dessert in those days.
Therefore, he thought that he would like to spread waffle as the food culture in Japan and established R.L waffle cake shop.
We would like to suggest the life with waffle and to introduce the attractive taste for a lot of people.
